Bramfield cottages

Self-catering holidays in Bramfield 

Steeped in history, surrounded by wildlife-rich Suffolk countryside and close to the stunning Heritage Coast, Bramfield offers the best of all worlds whether you’re planning a romantic couples’ escape or an active break with family or friends. Complete with a 14th-century church and ancient earthworks, the village’s main streets are lined with pretty properties of all ages, while the primary school and village hall confirm that this is a self-contained community. For the ultimate in effortless self-catering, Bramfield’s Grade II-listed pub has a lovely garden, is dog-friendly – there’ll be treats and water bowls behind the bar! – and serves delicious meals to enjoy on the premises or take back to your holiday cottage. When you’re in the mood for some home-cooking, the village shop stocks a mouth-watering array of fresh produce alongside its own smoked and locally-reared meats. 

Bring your bikes and explore the variety of cycle routes that pass through and around the village, or give your youngsters the full country-childhood experience with a visit to the local equestrian centre. For more family fun, nearby High Lodge offers sessions where you can all try your hand at archery, air rifle and clay shooting. Drive to the Edwardian seaside town of Southwold to stroll along the promenade and pier, play on the beach or buy fresh seafood from the busy harbour foreshore. Alternatively, get back to nature amid the ancient woodland of Dunwich Forest, or go wildlife-watching at RSPB Minismere. Whether you want to be busy or laid-back, Bramfield is a great base for your next cottage holiday.
